This bookis based on some of the lectures duringthe Paci?c
Institute of Theoretical Physics (PITP) summer school on "Quantum
Magnetism," held during June 2006 in Les Houches, in the French
Alps. The school was funded jointly by NATO, the CNRS, and PITP,
and entirely organized by PITP. Magnetism is a somewhat peculiar
research ?eld. It clearly has a quant- mechanical basis - the
microscopic exchange interactions arise entirely from the exclusion
principle, in conjunction with repulsive interactions between
electrons. And yet until recently the vast majority of magnetism
researchersand users of m- netic phenomena around the world paid no
attention to these quantum-mechanical roots. Thus, e.g., the huge
($400 billion per annum) industry which manufactures hard discs,
and other components in the information technology sector, depends
entirely on room-temperature properties of magnets - yet at the
macroscopic or mesoscopic scales of interest to this industry,
room-temperature magnets behave entirely classically.
